Red-Primer-featured-400

Red Primer

DESCRIPTION
Radmat Red Primer is designed for use with self adhesive SBS modified bitumen roofing membranes and is intended for use on concrete and various porous substrates to aid initial and long term adhesion of the membrane particularly when application is taking place at the lower end of the temperature range (+5°c) for these Membranes.

APPLICATION
For best results ensure that surface to be primed is free from oil or dust.
• Sweep clean where necessary
• Apply thinly with roller in one sweep (the red colour will denote area treated)- refill roller if “cobwebbing” occurs.
• Avoid puddling of the primer
• Drying time will be affected by surface porosity, film thickness and temperature and can vary between 40-90minutes.
• Product will remain tacky even after dry. To test, using the back of a glove or dry object press into the primer and remove, there should be no transfer of the primer when the primer is ready.

PipePockets

DESCRIPTION

Radmat PipePockets provide a quick and easy method of creating a waterproof pitch pocket, a method of waterproofing small or irregular shaped penetrations.  Manufactured from polyurethane elastomer, Radmat PipePockets consist of pre- formed elements for simple site assembly prior to being filled with PPR-5000 sealer, a fast setting solvent-free multi-use flexible sealant.  Suitable for use with PermaQuik, EshaFlex, EshaGum and EshaUniversal.

APPLICATION

For sealing small, irregular shaped or difficult to detail penetrations on PermaQuik, EshaFlex, EshaGum and EshaUniversal roofing systems.

Ensure substrate is dry and clear of any loose gravel, dust granules or any foreign substances that can affect adhesion. The PPR 5000 (Parts A and B) should be kept at room temperature prior to use. PipePockets should not be installed or used in temperatures below 5°C. PipePockets are unable to accommodate any movement between finished base and the deck where installed.

MedO-GM40-Biodiverse-Substrate-400

MedO GM40 Biodiverse Substrate

DESCRIPTION
Radmat GM40 Biodiverse Substrate provides a suitable growing medium to create a habitat in synchronisation with the surrounding local area, offering ideal conditions for invertebrates, animal species, colonisation by airborne plants and/or the majority of species used in biodiverse green roofing applications including ‘brown’ roofs. Consisting of recycled 14-5mm crushed brick, 4-10mm lightweight clay aggregate fine grade pine bark and composted recycled material (certified to PAS 100) all the materials used within its manufacture are responsibly sourced recycled materials of origin within the United Kingdom. 100% recycled material free from phytotoxic contaminants, all components are sourced with a strict identifiable provenance within a fifty mile radius of the manufacturing site, ensuring no contamination from invasive plant species such as Japanese Knotweed or Himalayan Balsam. Compliant with GRO substrate guidelines.

Radmat GM40 Biodiverse Substrate is STRI Certified as containing only 4.4% organic matter.

APPLICATION
Mixed pre-grown wildflower and sedum plugs or pre-grown wildflower and sedum blanket. Install GM40 Biodiverse Substrate medium on either Radmat D25 or D40 drainage/reservoir board covered with G11 filter fleece in accordance with the Radmat specification.

MedO-GM40-table

Apply to a depth as specified according to plant type allowing 10% post installation settlement. Indicative substrate depths are given in the table below, however the specified depth will vary based on a variety of factors including design load, building location, building height, plant species etc. It is therefore important to consult the project specification.

FIRE PERFORMANCE
Approved Document B Fire Safety points to the DCLG document Fire Performance of Green Roofs and Walls for best practice guidance in achieving Regulation 7(2) fire compliance with a green roof. DCLG Fire Performance of Green Roofs and Walls states that the compliance requirements for achieving Broof(t4) are a growing medium layer of a minimum 80mm and an organic content of not more than 50% (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-performance-of-green-roofs-and-walls). In addition, The Green Roof Organisation (GRO) Code of Best Practice, also recommends fire breaks consisting of 50mm deep 20/40mm rounded ballast are used at perimeters and penetrations. Gravel fire/vegetation breaks should be 500mm wide where they abut habitable space but can be reduced to 300mm in some circumstances. Key to ensuring ongoing fire performance of a green roof, and the plant performance, is maintenance as some plants will die back, others will shed leaves naturally during their lifecycle and invasive species will try to take hold. These factors all create additional organic matter that could poses a fire spread risk on the roof therefore unwanted organic matter should be removed as part of the maintenance program.
